We’ll keep the course open in accordance with a 3:30 hours finish time, or approximately 16 minutes per mile. Due to our permit – walkers or runners that are slower than the 3:30 time will be moved up to finish on time.

Yes, There will be a bag check area by the big Uhaul truck at the start. All bags will be brought to the finish area. You must return there to pick up your bag after the race. Articles of clothing that are left unclaimed after the race will be donated to a local homeless shelter. Loco Races is not liable for any losses or theft that may occur. Please be sure to pick up your bag by noon.

Spectators may not park at the finish area or any of the adjacent roads. Please park at Lowes near the start and registration. Before the race a free bus shuttle will run from Lowes to the Finish. The same shuttle will go from the finish back to Lowes after the race. There’s no parking available at Mercedes-Benz Of Portsmouth!

It is highly recommended to stay at the finish area to view your runners. The course does one small 3 mile loop and you will be able to cheer everyone on at this point. After the three mile point the course does an out and back section where we strongly discourage any cars on the course for the safety of our runners. If you do drive out to watch the race, you’ll most likely be stuck in runner traffic and not get back in time to see the finish, so we recommend staying at the dealership to see both the start and the finish.

Prizes are awarded to the top 3 men and women finishers overall, and to the top 3 men and women in the following categories: 19 & Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. Awards are picked up at the Awards tent near the finish. Awards will not be mailed.

Shirts are available in unisex S-XXL sizes. You select a size during online registration but we allow you to choose a different size at packet pick-up because we know that sometimes shirts fit a little differently than you expected. However, because people can change their minds at the last minute, we don’t actually know how many of each size to order. We do our best to estimate (and we even order extras), but sometimes we run out of a particular size. So, if it’s really important that you get a specific size, be sure to arrive at packet pick-up as early as possible.

Thecourse is certified and accurate according to USATF standards. However your GPS measurement of the course is bound to be different and will most likely show the distance covered to be “long.” This is normal, and here’s a very technical explanation why: In GPS We Trust.
